iKon-M SO
Andor’s USB 2.0 ikon-M SO series features high-QE, sensors for direct detection of soft X-Ray EUV or VUV photons. A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6” rotatable CF152 flange provides a robust and highly-effective seal to any compatible vacuum chamber interface.
Open front end
Peak QE of 95%
13 x 13 μm pixel size
TE cooling to -100°C
Ultra-low noise readout
High Resolution, High Sensitivity and High Dynamic Range ‘Direct’ Detection
Andor’s iKon series offers outstanding sensitivity performance through a combination of > 95% QE back-illuminated sensors, low noise readout electronics and industry-leading, maintenance-free deep TE-cooling down to -100°C. It features high resolution 1 and 4.2 Megapixel large area sensor options (with 13 and 13.5 μm pixels respectively) for simultaneous high dynamic range and high spatial resolution imaging in the VUV and soft x-ray range.
A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6” rotatable CF-152 flange provides a robust and highlyeffective seal to any compatible vacuum chamber interface. The iKon-M and -L also offer a USB2 interface and Labview or EPICS compatibility for seamless integration into complex setups.

Features Benefits Open front end
DN100CF / 6” CF / CF-152 flange and knife-edge sealing provided as standard for direct interfacing to vacuum chambers (rotatable design for iKon-M models).
1 MP and 4.2 MP sensor options
Choice of acquisition speed or large field-of-view to best match experimental needs.
13 x 13 µm pixel size
Ideal balance of dynamic range and resolution, on-head binning to extend dynamic range.
Peak QE of 95%
High photon collection efficiency for maximising signal-to-noise ratios. ‘Enhanced’ process back-illuminated sensor options for increased QE in the soft x-ray range.
Thermo-electric cooling down to -100°C
Efficiently minimizes dark current noise for acquisitions requiring longer sensor exposure time, obtain better signal-to-noise ratios faster.
Low noise readout down to 2.9 e-
Intelligent low-noise electronics offer the most ‘silent’ system noise.
Up to 5 MHz pixel readout speed
Slow readout for low noise and best SNR performance, faster speed for studying dynamic processes and 5 MHz focusing mode.
USB 2.0 interface
Built-in robust plug and play interface as standard.
Cropped sensor mode
Tracking stability to ensure all readout circuits experience same temperature and operating conditions.
Enhanced Baseline Clamp
Slower readout for lowest noise, faster speeds for more rapid readout and focusing.
Windows, Linux & Labview
Andor’s user-friendly SDK supports both Windows and Linux OS. LabView VI package available.
Integrated in EPICS
Seamless integration and operation at EPICS-based particle accelerators.
Filter and filter holders options
Accommodate beryllium (or aluminium) windows with thickness down to 200 μm for removal of unwanted lower energy radiations (< 2 keV). Ø45.5 mm supported for iKon-M and Ø60 mm for iKon-L.
Open-front to standalone converter options
Provides maximum flexibility – camera can attach directly to a vacuum chamber, or be used as standalone with a beryllium filter.
